Neethlingshof Estate Gewürztraminer is an intensely aromatic wine just bursting with perfumey Turkish Delight, rose petals, honeysuckle and hints of sweet baking spices. You will find a subtle sweetness as you first sip this wine, with spicy flavours following. There's some definite litchi and kiwi fruit characters which come to the fore and the wine boasts a sophisticated acidity with a wonderful long finish. Zesty and vibrant in its youth, this wine has an enviable reputation of “ripening” exquisitely as it develops in complexity with cellaring for up to five years – and even longer for those who enjoy the subtleties of mature wines.
For the last 20 years, Neethlingshof has been following an active biodiversity orientated strategy in its farming practices. We are moving away from a mono culture of vines and in the process we are giving back to nature some of what we took from her in the past. We are actively promoting the return of the original Renosterveld in areas where vines used to grow. At the same time we leave islands of already growing indigenous plants or actively plant islands of new Renosterveld in the vineyards.
Soil, climate and vines co-exist at Neethlingshof in perfect harmony. Our role in this relationship is to employ management practices that enhance this relationship and thus ensure top vine performance consistently from year to year. WWF’s Conservation Champions.
